Decision Day Down South -- The Results

The results are in -- well, most of them, anyhow -- and this is how the US election shaped up:

• the Democrats control the House of Representatives (Congress)
• the Democrats have a possibility of controlling the Senate, once the votes are counted
• the Secretary of Defence, Donald Rumsfeld, felt obliged to resign

I guess you could say that President Bush has his very own "minority" government. At best, it is going to be very difficult for him to get legislation passed, especially since he has been so partisan over the past six years. At worst, he faces being hamstrung.
